Trivia: Started acting in theater before her teens, but was prohibited by her mother—a drama teacher—from auditioning for film and TV roles until she could pay for her own head shots. Made film debut in The Darklings, a 1999 cable movie starring Suzanne Somers and Timothy Busfield. Has written a series of teen books called Chronicles of the Girl Wars, inspired by her experiences in high school, that she has described as "Mean Girls meets Ugly Betty." With her husband, John Reardon, was accepted to study Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London in the summer of 2012.

Trivia: A former model whose dark and handsome good looks made him the ideal candidate for a role on television's most supernaturally charged daytime drama, Jesse Metcalfe made a big impression on television viewers when he made his small-screen debut as the easygoing Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions in the late-'90s. The Waterford, CT native and Tisch School of the Arts graduate has also appeared in a number of commercials and magazines (including Seventeen and YM) on his way to the top. Sent on an open call for Passions by his modeling agency in 1999, Metcalfe won out over hundreds of other actors thanks to a winning combination of good looks and relaxed talent in front of the cameras. After an impressive five-year run on the outlandish soap opera, Metcalfe appeared in a reoccurring role on the popular cult hit Smallville. He then truly hit his stride with his role as boy-toy stud John Rowland on the ABC hit Desperate Housewives. It was only a matter of time before Metcalfe made the leap to the big screen, and in the summer of 2006, he essayed the role of the eponymous serial cheater in director Betty Thomas' romantic comedy John Tucker Must Die. Metcalfe would go on to spend the next few years starring on Desperate Housewives, Chase, and a remake of the night time soap Dallas. An avid songwriter and guitarist, Metcalfe has also displayed his athleticism by joining the Hollywood Knights, a charitable basketball team dedicated to raising funds for schools throughout Southern California.

Trivia: After attending Franklin and Marshall College, Treat Williams acted with the prestigious Fulton Repertory troupe. Williams made his Broadway debut in Grease (1976) eventually taking over the leading role of Danny Zuko. His later Broadway credits included the musicals Over Here and Pirates of Penzance and the reader's-theatre exercise Love Letters. In films from 1976, he scored his first significant success as the draft-resistant protagonist of Milos Forman's Hair (1979). He went on to play the title role in The Pursuit of D. B. Cooper (1981), then gained positive critical notice for his work as reluctant interdepartmental police informant Daniel Ciello in Prince of the City (1981). His later film roles included mob-connected labor organizer Jimmy O'Donnell in Once Upon a Time in America (1984) and the seductive James Dean clone in Smooth Talk (1985). Famed for his willingness to tackle any sort of role, Williams' artistic ambitions are backed up by his versatility and astonishing vocal flexibility. On TV, Williams played Stanley Kowalski opposite Ann-Margret's Blanche Dubois in Streetcar Named Desire (1984) and was appropriately sharkish as superagent Mike Ovitz in The Late Shift (1996). He also starred in the weekly series Eddie Dodd (1991) and Good Advice (1995). Many of Treat Williams' recent film roles have exhibited a fondness for expansive, scenery-chewing villainy, notably megalomanic Xander Drax in The Phantom (1995).

Trivia: Whether playing a wiseacre waitress, an insane bioengineer, or a vengeful, darkly comic widow, Diane Ladd brings energy and accomplishment to her roles. Born Rose Diane Ladner in Meridian, MS, she moved to New York City as a teen. Before making her stage debut in Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending, Ladd worked as a model and a dancer at the Copacabana nightclub. In 1961, Ladd debuted in her first feature film, Something Wild. Though she subsequently appeared in a few more films during the '60s, including The Reivers (1969), Ladd focused on her stage career. In film, 1974 proved to be a great year for Ladd. Her portrayal of Flo, the tough waitress who helps out a recently widowed Ellen Burstyn in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More, garnered her nominations for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a British Academy Award. She then appeared opposite Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway in Roman Polanski's Chinatown. Beginning in 1976, Ladd became a familiar face in television movies like The Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones (1980) and miniseries such as Black Beauty (1978). Though she continued to sporadically appear in feature films through the '80s, her movie career didn't perk up again until the early '90s. Formerly married to character actor Bruce Dern, Ladd is the mother of willowy leading lady Laura Dern. Mother and daughter have appeared in several films together, notably 1991's Rambling Rose and David Lynch's Wild at Heart (1990) -- the former film earned mother and daughter a place in Oscar history when they became the first such duo to be nominated for the same film (Ladd for Best Supporting Actress and Dern for Best Actress).

Trivia: Actor Robert Buckley didn't have to go very far to pursue a career in his chosen artform. Born in Los Angeles in 1981, Buckley was surrounded by the bright lights of Hollywood for practically his entire life, but despite his proximity to the industry, he didn't begin acting professionally until after he'd attended the University of California San Diego, where he earned a degree in economics. He was working as an economic consultant when he was advised to try out a sideline in modeling and acting. He soon scored a role in the 2005 thriller When a Killer Calls, and by the next year he was playing a starring role on the saucy, telanovela adaptation Fashion House, which he stayed with for its entire 62-episode run. TV proved a good fit for Buckley, and he would go on to enjoy successful starring roles on American Heiress, Lipstick Jungle, and One Tree Hill.
